# 2.4: "Downtown Mixed Use Redevelopment Project"
Background
Since its creation, the Community Redevelopment Agency has consistently made efforts to attract
new businesses into Downtown Delray Beach. The economic impodance of the Downtown and the need
for major attractions and nighttime activity generators was well recognized in the 1986 Community
Redevelopment Plan. The City, also realizing the importance of the CBD as a vital and competitive
commercial marketplace, has included several policies in its Comprehensive Plan toward achieving that end.
Blocks 77,:78 and 85, located south of Atlantic Avenue, are situated between the F.E.C. Railroad
tracks and S.E. 1st Avenue. The CRA began to plan acquisition of theee-btoel~
1991 for the purpose of locating a major cinema operator and mixed retail uses in the downtown area. This
location was chosen because all the property ~n~.'i;i:/~h~id.~i~a~i~.~.?vas divided among only four owners on
Block 77 and two owners on Block 85 (one of which is the City of Delray Beach). Additionally, large
portions of the two blocks were undeveloped and the major property holding on Block 85 was in foreclosure.
The situation changed in 1993 when a new 10-plex cinema was constructed at the Delray Mall, causing
interest in a downtown cinema to fade. The CRA reevaluated the project and decided to proceed with
property acquisition under the assumption that it could assemble the property and attract a developer
interested in constructing a mixed-use project at the location.
The CRA acquired the major parcel on Block 85, fronting Atlantic Avenue in December 1993 and
additional vacant property in the rear in 1994. In early 1995, the CRA amended its strategy since developer
interest in a large scale mixed-use project had not yet materialized. As part of this new strategy, the CRA

# 3.7: "Grant Administration Program"
Backpround
To facilitate additional investment within the Community Redevelopment area, the CRA will administer
grants which complement the redevelopment efforts of the CRA and the goals of the Community Redevelopment
Plan. It is anticipated that this additional investment within the CRA district will result in increased opportunities
for residents and have positive impacts on employment, housing, the tax base, and the physical environment,
all of which are positive steps toward the elimination of slum and blighted conditions.
Prooram Obiectlve$
o Provide economic stimulation to the area
o Increase business opportunities
o Increase employment opportunities
o Increase housing opportunities
o Prevent the spread of slum and blighted conditions
Pro;mm Description
o The CRA may apply for, accept, and administer grants from Federal, State and local governmental
entities, charitable foundations and entities, and such other organizations as may offer grant funds for
the planning and carrying out of redevelopment efforts in pursuit of the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Plan.
Program particlpants and Administration
o The program will be administered and coordinated by the CRA
o Other participants include, but are not limited to, Federal, State and local governmental entities,
charitable foundations and entities, and such other organizations as may offer grant funds, and
organizations, businesses or individuals who may participate in the program to receive such grant
funds.
Funding Sources
o Federal, State and local governmental entities, charitable foundations and entities, and such other
organizations as may offer grant funds
Prooram Schedule
o The Program is to be implemented in FY 1995/1996.

VII. Revenue Projections
Table 4-2 provides a five-year projection of revenues available for CRA redevelopment programs,
The primary funding source for CRA activities is the Redevelopment Trust Fund. This Fund is the
depository for all TIF revenues generated within the Community RedevelopmentArea. Based on estimates
of the current property valuations, and assuming the historic annual increase of 2 percent in these
valuations, together with new construction, it is estimated that the total tax increment revenue generated
by the redevelopment area will be approximately $ 4.5 million over the next five year period. This estimate
is believed to be conservative since it does not include revenues generated by the redevelopment projects
described in this plan. These projects will increase the total tax increment as they are completed and
entered on the tax rolls.
Since its creation in 1985, the CRA has continued to expand its redevelopment efforts into the
surrounding community. Starting with just a few projects, the CRA has increased its activities to include
over two dozen projects and programs. It must be noted; however, that this increased commitment is not
without costs. Consequently, the CRA's overall program has outgrown the limited funding provided by TIF
revenues. To continue its redevelopment effort and provide adequate funding for its various projects and
programs, the agency must now turn to long-term borrowing. Since property values will inevitably increase
as a result of its activities, this method of financing the CRA redevelopment effort can also be looked upon
as an investment in future TIF revenue.

INTRODUCTION TO THE PLAN
The City of Delray Beach is a coastal community located in southern Palm Beach County. It is bounded
by the municipalities of Boynton Beach and Gulfstream to the north, by the municipalities of Boca Raton and
Highland Beach to the south and by unincorporated Palm Beach County to the west. At the present time, the
City is approximately 85% built-out in terms of population. Under current growth trends, it can be expected to
be totally built-out by the year 2000.
Given its limited potential for future population growth, the City has begun to focus its attention on the
revitalization and rehabilitation of areas which are in a state of decline or deterioration. These areas have been
incorporated within the defined geographic boundaries of the "City of Delray Beach Community
Redeve/opnmnt Area". This area, which encompasses the older central core of the city, is depicted graphically
in Figure 1 and by a description of its boundaries in Appendix "A". Since it contains a significant amount of
vacant, under-developed or deteriorating residential and commercial property, it is within this area that there can
be a continuing increase in population growth and an establishment of commercial ventures.
The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, (CRA) wes established in 1985 to guide the City
in its redevelopment efforts. The purpose of the Agency is to revitalize the physical environment and the
economy of the Community Redevelopment Area. The impetus to create the Community Redevelopment
Agency grew out of the work of the Atlantic Avenue Task Force which was commenced in 1984. The objecave
of the Task Force was to study the Atlantic Avenue Corndor and make recommendations for an overall plan for
improvement. Its work was completed in 1985 when it presented its report to the City Commission. That report
recommended the establishment of a community Redevelopment Area as means to fund needed improvements
through the use of "Tax Increment Financing (7'IF)".
After its creation in 1985, the Community Redevelopment Agency commissioned the preparation of its
first plan under contract with the firm of Wallace, Roberts & Todd, Inc. The resulting plan document, "The City
of Delra¥ Beach Community Redevelopment Pla~', was adopted by the City Commission on September 9,
1986 by Resolution No. 49-86 and later adopted as an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan on July
12, 1988 by Ordinance No. 57-88.
In 1989, it became apparent that due to changing conditions and the Agency's desire to undertake a
host of new programs not anticipated in the odginal document, it was necessary to undertake a Plan revision.
In late 1990, it wes decided to put most of the Community Redevelopment Agency's new project activity on hold
and to completely redo the document. Hence, the creation of this Plan Document.
This document, "The City of Delrey Beach Communily Redevelopment Plan", provides the
fi'amework for programming redevelopment activities within the CRA. Since it is not possible or practical for the
Community Redevelopment Agency to fund and implement all redevelopment projects within the community,
the plan sets forth a sades of implementation steps and specific projects intended to leverage or stimulate the
type of public interest and pdvate investment necessary to achieve the revitalization.
The Plan was originally developed by the City's Planning Department with funding by the Community
Redevelopment Agency for a staff planner. Subsequent amendments to the Plan have been made by staff at
the Community Redevelopment Agency. The CRA Board provides policy, direction and workshop review for
the evolving document. The current version of the Plan was formally adopted by the City Commission via
Ordinance No. 8-96 on March 5, 1996.

# 2.4: "Downtown Mixed Use Redevelopment Project"
Backoround
Since its creation, the Community Redevelopment Agency has consistently made efforts to attract new
businesses into Downtown Delray Beach. The economic importance of the Downtown and the need for major
attractions and nighttime activity generators was well recognized in the 1986 Community Redevelopment Plan. The
City, also realizing the importance of the CBD as a vital and competitive commercial marketplace, has included
several policies in its Comprehensive Plan toward achieving that end.
Blocks 77, 78 and 85, located south of Atlantic Avenue, are situated between the F.E.C. Railroad tracks
and S.E. 1st Avenue. The CRA began to plan acquisition of part of blocks 77 & 85 in 1991 for the purpose of
locating a major cinema operator and mixed retail uses in the downtown area. This location was chosen because
ell the property under consideration was divided among only four owners on Block 77 and two owners on Block 85
(one of which is the City of Delray Beach). Additionally, large portions of the two blocks ware undeveloped and
the major property holding on Block 85 was in foreclosure. The situation changed in 1993 when a new 10-plex
cinema was constructed at the Delray Mall, causing interest in a downtown cinema to fade. The CRA reevaluated
the project and decided to proceed with property acquisition under the assumption that it could assemble the
property and attract a developer interested in constructing a mixed-use project at the location.
The CRA acquired the major parcel on Block 85, fronting Atlantic Avenue in December 1993 and additional
vacant property in the rear in 1994. In eady 1995, the CRA amended its strategy since developer interest in a large
scale mixed-use project had not yet materialized. As part of this new strategy, the CRA solicited RFP's and
offered its property holdings on Block 85 for sale or lease. One parcel was sold in August, 1995 and the remainder
of the property was optioned for purchase by the same developer. Redevelopment of these holdings along with
redevelopment of the nearby Ocean City Lumber property has increased developer interest in a larger scale mixed-
use project in this location.
Despite significant redevelopment interest in the area, one large parcel fronting Atlantic Avenue in block
77 has continued to decline. This parcel contains the former "Executive Mall" office building, a now vacant four-story
building which has deteriorated to the point wflere it has become injurious to the public health, safety, morals and
welfare of the residents of the state. Due to the extreme deterioration of this parcel and as a result of increased
4.13
developer interest in the area, the CRA contemplates acquiring the balance of block 77 and a portion of block 78
to create a redevelopment parcel large enough to accommodate a major generator of economic development. The
CRA may acquire all or a portion of the property pdor to and/or following receipt of an acceptable response to a
request for proposal ("RFP") solicitation. The RFP will seek proposals from developers and/or large users to
redevelop all of block 77 and part of block 78.
Prolect Oblectlves
o Assemble a site large enough for a large scale project.
o Provide economic stimulation and investment in the CBD.
o Improve marketability and demand of the retail core.

# 3.7: "Grant Administration Program"
Backqround
To facilitate additional investment within the Community Redevelopment area, the CRA will administer
grants which complement the redevelopment efforts of the CRA and the goals of the Community Redevelopment
Plan. It is anticipated that this additional investment within the CRA district will result in increased opportunities
for residents and have positive impacts on employment, housing, the tax base, and the physical environment,
all of which are positive steps toward the elimination of slum and blighted conditions.
Program .Objectives
o Provide economic stimulation to the area
o Increase business opportunities
o Increase employment opportunities
o Increase housing opportunities
o Prevent the spread of slum and blighted conditions
Pro0ram Descriotlon
o The CRA may apply for, accept, and administer grants from Federal, State and local governmental
entities, charitable foundations and entities, and such other organizations as may offer grant funds for
the planning and carrying out of redevelopment efforts in pursuit of the purposes of the Community
Redevelopment Plan.
Proaram Participants and Administration
o The program will be administered and coordinated by the CRA
o Other participants include, but are not limited to, Federal, State and local governmental entities,
charitable foundations and entities, and such other organizations as may offer grant funds, and
organizations, businesses or individuals who may participate in the program to receive such grant
funds.
Funding Sources
o Federal, State and local governmental entities, charitable foundations and entities, and such other
organizations as may offer grant funds
pt'oaram Schedule
o The Program is to be implemented in FY 199511996.
4.35a
VII. Revenue Projections
Table 4-2 provides a five-year projection of revenues available for CRA redevelopment programs.
The primary funding source for CRA activities is the Redevelopment Trust Fund. This Fund is the
depository for all TI F revenues generated within the Community Redevelopment Area. Based on estimates
of the current property valuations, and assuming the historic annual increase of 2 percent in these
valuations, together with new construction, it is estimated that the total tax increment revenue generated
by the redevelopment area will be approximately $ 4.5 million over the next five year period. This estimate
is believed to be conservative since it does not include revenues generated by the redevelopment projects
described in this plan. These projects will increase the total tax increment as they are completed and
entered on the tax rolls.
Since its creation in 1985, the CRA has continued to expand its redevelopment efforts into the
surrounding community. Starting with just a few projects, the CRA has increased its activities to include
over two dozen projects and programs. It must be noted; however, that this increased commitment is not
without costs. Consequently, the CRA's overall program has outgrown the limited funding provided by TIF
revenues. To continue its redevelopment effort and provide adequate funding for its various projects and
programs, the agency must now turn to long-term borrowing. Since property values will inevitably increase
as a result of its activities, this method of financing the CRA redevelopment effort can also be looked upon
as an investment in future TIF revenue.

VIII. Five-Year Redevelopment Program and Funding Allocations
This section of the Community Redevelopment Plan provides a five-year funding program for the
Planning, Redevelopment and Community Improvement programs & projects which are identified within the
Plan. This five-year program is intended to serve as a guide for project implementation and to assist in
cash flow management. It is not intended to replace the annual budget adopted by the CRA.
Table 4-3 lists estimated project-specific net funding allocations for each CRA project. This table
is for planning purposes only and is not a guarantee of expenditure of funds on a given project. Actual
project allocations will be determined annually through the budget process. As priorities change, projects
are deleted or new projects or programs are created, this table will be amended. It is intended that this
process occur at least once annually, after adoption of the budget.

DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING ~,~.~) ZONING
SUBJECT: MEETING OF FEBRUARY 20, 1996
AMENDMENT TO THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PLAN
TO ACCOMMODATE CHANGES TO PROJECT # 2.4 "DOWNTOWN MIXED
USE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT" AND ESTABLISH THE "GRANT
ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM"
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION:
The action requested of the Commission is approval on first reading of proposed
amendments to the Community Redevelopment Agency Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The adopted CRA Plan calls for a "Downtown Mixed Use Project" for Blocks 77 and 85 (the
area bounded by E. Atlantic Avenue, SE 1st Avenue, SE 1st Street, and the F.E.C. Railroad
tracks). The first phase of the project is the Block 85 (Grove Square) project, which is
currently under construction. The CRA is now proceeding with the second phase of the
project, the redevelopment of Block 77 and a portion of Block 78 (located on the south side
of SE 1st Street). At its meeting of December 13, 1995, the CRA Board authorized a
Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit interested developers. The RFP calls for proposals
for redevelopment of the subject properties to accommodate a "major generator of
economic development." The proposed amendment updates the CRA Plan to reflect the
current status of the Block 85 project and a change in priorities for Block 77 (i.e., large scale
economic generator rather than mixed-use development). In addition to that amendment,
the CRA proposes to establish a "Grant Administration Program" to assist area business
and/or property owners in obtaining grant assistance from Federal, State, or local
governments. The amendment also updates Appendix D "Property Acquisition Maps,"
Table 4-2 "5-year Revenue & Expense Projections," and Table 4-3 "Five-year
Redevelopment Program & Expense Projections" to accommodate the Block 77 project and
the Grant Administration Program.

AGENCY PLAN TO ACCOMMODATE CHANGES TO PROJECT #
2.4 "DOWNTOWN MIXED USE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT"
AND ESTABLISH THE "GRANT ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM"
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD:
The item before the Board is review and comment regarding a proposed amendment
to the Community Redevelopment Agency Plan.
Pursuant to F.S. 163.360(3), proposed amendments to the CRA Plan must be
presented to the Planning and Zoning Board for review and comment regarding its
consistency with the adopted Comprehensive Plan of the City prior to action by the
City Commission.
BACKGROUND:
The adopted CRA Plan calls for a "Downtown Mixed Use Project" for Blocks 77 and 85 (the
area bounded by E. Atlantic Avenue, SE 1st Avenue, SE 1st Street, and the F.E.C. Railroad
tracks). The project consists of a large scale mixed use development that would increase
nighttime activities and business opportunities in the downtown area, eliminate blighted
structures and properties, and increase housing opportunities in the downtown. The first
phase of the project was the purchase of the Block 85 (Ken and Hazel's Block) property
and sale to a developer for a mixed use project. That property is currently under
construction.
At its meeting of December 13, 1995, the CRA Board authorized a Request for Proposals
(RFP) for the redevelopment of Block 77 and a portion of Block 78 (located on the south
side of SE 1st Street). The RFP calls for developer proposals for redevelopment of the
subject properties to accommodate a "major generator of economic development." At its
meeting of January 11, 1996, the CRA Board authorized the establishment of a "Grant
Administration Program" to assist area business and/or property owners in obtaining grant
assistance from Federal, State, or local governments.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS:
The proposed amendment modifies the CRA Plan to update it with respect to the current
status of the Block 85 project and to accommodate the change in the focus of
redevelopment priorities for Block 77 (i.e., large scale economic generator rather than
mixed-use development). The amendment also updates Appendix D, "Property Acquisition

Meeting of ,January 22, 1996

Maps," Table 4-2 "5-year Revenue & Expense Projections," and Table 4-3 "Five-year
Redevelopment Program & Expense Projections" to accommodate the Block 77 project.
In addition to that amendment, the CRA proposes to establish a "Grant Administration
Program," which will Changes to Table 4-2 "5-year Revenue & Expense Projections," and
Table 4-3 "Five-year Redevelopment Program & Expense Projections" to accommodate the
program are also included.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS:
Objective C-4 of the Future Land Use Element concerns the future development of the
Central Business District (CBD). The Objective calls for development in the CBD according
to the "Village Center" Scenario, which identifies the following elements as major
components:
CI Infill development;
El Encouragement of first floor retail uses, especially along Atlantic Avenue;
El Increased non-residential development;
El New residential development;
El Increased employment base; and
El Increased parking opportunities, including tiered parking.
The proposed amendment calls for development of Block 77 with a "major generator of
economic development." That language implies a use which will generate employment in
the CBD, as called for by the Future Land Use Element. The policy also retains references
to creation of new housing and increased parking opportunities in Block 77. The associated
RFP supports the policy by calling for the inclusion of currently vacant and under-utilized
properties, first floor retail uses with upper story office and/or residential uses, and
opportunities for tiered parking. Based on the above, the Board can make positive findings
that the proposed amendments are consistent with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommend to the City Commission approval of the proposed amendment to the
Community Redevelopment Plan.

RE: Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Dear Dave:
At its regular meeting on December 1995, the CRA Board approved an amendment to the CRA
Plan for Project # 2.4: "Downtown Mixed Use Redevelopment Project", which is found on page
4. I3 of the plan. In order to maintain consistency with the rest of the plan, the following additional
changes were also necessary:
[21 Additional acquisitions were added to the "Property Acquisition Map" found in
Appendix "D"
[21 "Table 4-2: 5-Year Revenue & Expense Projections", found on page 4.41, was
updated.
"Table 4-3: Five-Year Redevelopment Program & Funding Allocations", found on
page 4.42, was updated. Please note that the format of this table has been changed
to reflect both project related revenues and expenditures instead of net figures. This
change was made in order to make the table easier to understand and to maintain
consistency with our 5-year budget format.
Pursuant to the CRA's adopted procedures for amendment of its Redevelopment Plan, the proposed
amendment should be reviewed by the LPA (P&Z Board) and determined not to be inconsistent with
the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Plan is then forwarded to the City Commission with
recommendations. Please initiate the process for adoption by the City Commission. I have included
12 cop~e~, hat you have enough for both the P & Z board and the City Commission, along with
